Review by David

"I played clarinet for ten years. I wanted to find a teacher who really knows how to focus on a student's goals and weaknesses. Kevin has provided me with

weekly lessons that I can take home and make trues progress in picking, timing, reading, fingering, and listening, Kevin is a true professional."

"Not your average piano teacher.

I've been taking lessons with josh for 2 months. His relaxed style and flexibility create such a welcoming environment th

at I forget my usual self-conciousness. He's attentive and focuses on what his student's interests and needs are, which, as an adult learner, is far more useful for getting all the new information it to stick than the rigidity of yore."

"Passionate & Reliable

Casey has been an amazing drum teacher. He understands my style of music and motivates me to become a better performer. I've improv

ed lightyears since taking lessons fro him. He always has a positive attitude and is extremely reliable and punctual, which can be very rare in the music industry. I am so happy I met Casey!"

"Todd has been teaching my 14 year old son for several months now. I have to say he has kept my son's interest in the instrument and tailoring teaching to

his interest perfectly. Todd is very pleasant and accommodating to my family's scheduling needs. I would recommend him highly!"

"Minoo is an excellent teacher! She's very patient and she makes it fun. She actually had me playing songs by my 2nd lesson! For someone who had no idea ho

w to read music let alone play the piano before she walked through my door, I find it quite remarkable. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to learn how to play."

Review by Lauren

"I have been taking lessons from Cara for only a short amount of time, and I have learned more from her, so far, than from any other instructor I have ever

worked with! She is incredibly knowledgable in ways to improve my voice and really takes the time to help me understand what will benefit my voice. I cannot wait to see how much more I will grow with her training."

Review by Mariam

"Maria has been a wonderful instructor for my 8 year old daughter - my daughter loves her classes and always looks forward to Mondays because of it. Maria'

s website with lessons is really great for studying outside of routine classes. Best of all, my daughter loves Maria's personality and wishes she could invite her to school performances - unfortunately we live some 2K miles apart :)"
